I I I I ;I David Hauan 16341 Jarvis Street Elk River, Mn 55330 Re: Site Plan Review; PIN 29-32-25-14-0010 Dear David: We are in receipt of a Site Plan consisting of (1) sheet. We are also in receipt of a one (1) sheet topography plan and a one (1) sheet building elevation plan. The plans propose to construct an office with outside storage for trucks and heavy equipment. Zoning: The site is zoned Industrial and the proposed office and outside storage area are permitted uses. Lot Coverage: The total area of the lot is 1.4 acres or 62,496 square feet. Lot coverage is restricted to 35 % or 21,874 square feet. The area of the building is proposed at 1,568 square feet which is in compliance with lot coverage restrictions Utilities: The facility is not in the urban service area and will be served by on-site septic and well. Setbacks:i Although the access to the site is from 146th Avenue, the building front will be oriented towards Am~strong Blvd.; therefore the front yard setback will be imposed on the Armstrong Blvd. side. The structure setback from Armstrong Blvd. is 60 feet from centerline of right-of-way plus the location applicable front yard setback of 40 feet. The structure i~s proposed to be located 100 feet from the centerline of the Armstrong Blvd. right-of-way. The side yard setback is 10 feet and the structure will be located 80 feet from both side yard property lines. The structure location substantially exceeds the 40 foot rear yard setback. Landscaping and Screening: According to City Code, a 20 foot wide landscape area is required parallel to all public streets and equipment stored outside is required to be screened from all public roads. All plantings and fencing are to be located 20 feet from streets. The text received with the site plan proposes to plant 5'-6' foot high pine trees along 146th Avenue and Armstrong Blvd. for screening purposes. It is suggested that the site plan text or plan be modified to provide: (I) verification of 20 foot wide landscaped yard aloag 146th Avenue N.W. and Armstrong Blvd. N.W.; (2) berming along Armstrong Blvd. and 146th Avenue to increase the effect of the screening proposed; and (3) landscape plantings along the building front. As a suggestion, an underground irrigation system will protect the investment made in screening and landscaping. Architectural Standards: City Code requires that in the Industrial District, exterior wall finishes be of material that is 50% other than metal on the exposed wails. The exterior finish of the office building is proposed be vinyl siding with some brick on building front; this is in compliance with City Code.
